Seasonal information

During stays between April and December, there may be an increased occurrence of seagrass and algae due to wind, temperature, and currents. In particular, there is often an increased incidence of brown algae in the Caribbean. The beach and the sea may be affected by this. The hotel management and local authorities are, of course, making every effort to clean the affected beach sections in cooperation with the municipal administrations. However, the use of appropriate equipment is necessary for this, which may cause a slight noise level.
